Package: kdebase-bin Version: 4:3.1.4-1 Severity: normal If I go kstart --desktop 4 --activate kmail --check
to have kmail check for any new mail, kmail will do its think okay, but if I subsequently try to open a new window in some other application in a different desktop, that new window will also appear in desktop 4. Which is what I expect to see. The completely unrelated appplication should open its windows in the desktop it uses. It is 100% reproducible to me, and it affects both new applications (for example opening KEdit by clicking on a text file on the Desktop) and widget windows of a running application, both KDE applications and non-KDE applications (for example if I go Ctrl+F in Firebird, the Find window will appear on desktop 4). This bug has been in every version of KDE I've tried, and while all my systems are Debian systems, it could be an upstream bug. It is of course just an annoyance, but it is getting rather annoying now... :-) In case someone wondered, I have this bound by lineakd to a special key on my keyboard, so I do this frequently, but it is reproducible from the command line too. My system is mostly from unstable, but I decided to stabilize and use testing sources a few weeks ago, and so I don't have the latest kde packages, but from the KDE changelogs, it doesn't seem to have been any significant work on this for 3.1.5. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux owl 2.4.23-backstreet-ruby.2003-12-26.3-owl #1 Fri Dec 26 23:23:03 CET 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kdebase-bin depends on: ii kdelibs4 4:3.1.4-3 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.6b-1 The Network Audio System (NAS).
